15.3 Span Calibration
This procedure determines the second point of the sensor calibration.
Note: When a manual calibration is performed, the readings shown are in the equivalent units of the
calibration gas, and not the measurement gas.
15.4 Three-Point Calibration For Enhanced Linearity With Extended-
Range And ppb PID Sensors
For better linearity at higher concentrations when an AreaRAE Plus/Pro is equipped with a PID sensor, a
3-point calibration can be performed.
IMPORTANT!
Three-point calibration is disabled by default, but can be enabled using ProRAE Studio II Instrument
Configuration and Data Management software on AreaRAE Plus/Pro instruments with 10.6eV PID
sensors, including high-range ppm and ppb PID sensors.
Default calibration gas settings for AreaRAE Plus/Pro PID sensors are as follows:
Span 2
